OFFERED IN WINTER, SPRING, AND FALL
Gateway Leagues
Gateway Leagues are the premier field hockey leagues in St. Louis, MO offering skill development and game play for athletes of all ability and experience levels in 1st-12th grade during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Beginning in 2000, Gateway began offering professionally run field hockey leagues and we continue to provide high quality instructional game play each season on top of the line turf fields. Our leagues consist of multiple divisions within each age group to allows for beginner, intermediate and advanced players to develop their game at a comfortable level.
All leagues are held on state of the art outdoor water turf fields at either Sport Port or Villa Duchesne, and indoors on turf at STL Athletic Center. Leagues consist of a ~15 minute skills instructional warm-up followed by 40 minutes of gameplay (divided in two halves). We are happy to accommodate friend/school requests to League, Prep Club, and Mini Sticks athletes so grab your friends and join us this season for a fun filled field hockey experience. Not to worry, if you join without a teammate request, we have a spot for you! As a reminder, Prep Club and Elite Club includes league play, so you need not register for both League and a club program.
